General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation
Whether the clinic documents treatment under general anaesthesia or deep / twilight sedation — "sleep dentistry", where the patient is asleep and unaware (does not feel, see, or hear the procedure). Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.
- ✗ General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) — No general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented No general anaesthesia or intravenous/twilight sedation is documented. [s2]

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).
Information Transparency
16 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website Opened and read on 2026-09-07: a compact but current site with real clinic content on services, staff, premises and contacts. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Each dentist is listed with their areas of work — prosthetics, root canal treatment, aesthetic dentistry and implantology — and Juha Peltola is named as erikoishammaslääkäri, suu- ja leukakirurgi. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos The profile is unclaimed — it offers «Claim this business» and its photo strip carries only «All» and «Street View & 360°», with no owner section at all — so there is no imagery the clinic publishes of its own premises to assess. Left null rather than false, since an absent owner set on a record the practice does not control says nothing about the practice's own photography. [gmpb] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Fillings and root canal treatment, aesthetic dentistry, dental prosthetics, stomatognathic physiology, hygienist services and dental radiography. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Phone, e-mail, street address with floor and opening hours published; consistent with the Google place record. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | English website version The site declares Finnish and Swedish alternates only ('Suomi / Svenska'); there is no English version. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Street address with floor, a described landmark route and a map link, plus lift access from a named car park. [s4] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
0 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published No price list, price range or example price appears anywhere on the site; the only money statement is that the clinic charges no office fee and uses Kela direct reimbursement. Verified against the clinic's own sitemap on 2026-09-07: 27 URLs including the full Swedish mirror, and none of them is a price page (/hinnasto returns the site's 404 page). [s1] [s2] [s4] [s6] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed No price published online. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed No price published online. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed No price published online. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed No price published online. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed No price published online. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed No price published online. [s2] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
4.5 / 20
Public review signals. The Google rating is adjusted with a Bayesian prior (rating 4.0, weight 25) so a 5.0 from a handful of reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from hundreds.
| ◐ | Google rating (Bayesian-adjusted) Read live on the place page in a browser on 2026-09-08. Unchanged from the automated reading of 2026-09-07. The star histogram — 2 five-star, 1 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star and 3 one-star — sums to 6, matching the 6 in the place-page header exactly, and its weighted mean 2.833 reproduces the published 2.8. [gm1] [gmpb] | 1/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-08 from the place-page header, and the star histogram sums to the same figure. The card held 6 and the listing has not moved since. [gm1] [gmpb] | 0.5/3 |
| ✗ | Review recency The newest review visible is four years old, which proves the older bucket and no better. Visible dates: 4, 5, 5, 7, 8 and 9 years — the visible sample is the whole base. Sample: the six reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order — the "Newest" sort does not open to automation, so a review more recent than the newest one visible may exist. [gmpb] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Clinic responds to reviews No owner reply appears under any of the six reviews visible on the place page on 2026-09-08, and every one of them carries text, so the negative is evidenced rather than assumed. Sample: the six reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order — the "Newest" sort does not open to automation, so a review more recent than the newest one visible may exist. [gmpb] | 0/2 |
| ? | No recurring complaints Of 6 Google reviews, 3 are one- or two-star (50 %), but the lowest-rated read (2017-2021) show no common theme (alleged invented findings and two with no text), so the criterion is left unassessed (read 2026-10-05). | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Judged on the histogram shape, the spread of dates, the variety of reviewers and the wording, on 2026-09-08. Six ratings accumulated over nine years on a profile the practice does not control — it offers «Claim this business» — with no owner reply anywhere and no photography beyond Street View. A base of six spread across nine years is too thin to carry a manipulation signature in either direction, and nobody is curating the record. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic links its own Facebook page from its site, alongside Instagram. [fb1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Hammasklinikka Dentori Turku" and "Hammasklinikka Dentori"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [hammasklinikka-dentori-turku-tripadvisor] [hammasklinikka-dentori-turku-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No profile on WhatClinic or Trustpilot, and Dental Departures and Bookimed list no Finnish clinics; no Yelp page was found under its name, nor a Finnish dentist-review site with reviews of its own. [hammasklinikka-dentori-turku-deepen] [hammasklinikka-dentori-turku-deepen-2] [hammasklinikka-dentori-turku-deepen-3] [hammasklinikka-dentori-turku-deepen-4] | 0/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
6 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray 'Hammasröntgen' is a named service of the clinic. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | CBCT (3D imaging) The services list names dental radiography without further detail; no cone-beam CT is described. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Two of the named dentists list implantology among their areas of work. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Orthodontics Orthodontics is absent from the service list and from every dentist's stated areas of work. [s2] [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery A specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery is on the roster. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Pediatric dentistry Children's dentistry is not named among the services or in any dentist's areas of work. [s2] [s3] | 0/1.5 |
| ✗ | Emergency care No emergency or same-day service is offered on the clinic's own pages. [s1] [s2] | 0/1.5 |
| ✗ | Works with international patients The clinic publishes nothing about foreign patients; its only non-Finnish version is Swedish, a domestic national language. [s1] | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
1.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✗ | WhatsApp / LINE available Phone, e-mail and a web form only. [s4] | 0/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ? | English spoken The clinic makes no statement about English; its published language versions are Finnish and Swedish. | 0/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible The contacts page carries a question form and invites patients to ask about treatments before booking. [s4] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✗ | Clear service explanations The services page lists the treatment areas by name without explaining what each involves. [s2] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Convenient opening hours Confirmed as a checked negative on both channels on 2026-09-08. The clinic's own site publishes Monday to Thursday 08:00–15:45 and Friday 08:00–13:45 with the weekend closed; its Google record is unclaimed and publishes no hours at all (it offers «Add hours»). Neither channel shows evening or weekend opening. [s4] [gmpb] | 0/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
3.5 / 10
Whether the clinic is discoverable when patients search - including via AI assistants. Checked with fixed queries: "best dentist Finland", "English speaking dentist Finland", "dental implants Finland", "emergency dentist Finland", "Finland dental clinic for expats".
| ✗ | Mentioned for: best dentist Finland The canonical city query was run in the AI-visibility pass on 2026-09-07; the clinic does not appear in the returned result list, which is held by national chains, the university, wellbeing-county pages and directories. [bsq1] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: English speaking dentist Finland The canonical city query was run in the AI-visibility pass on 2026-09-07; the clinic does not appear in the returned result list, which is held by national chains, the university, wellbeing-county pages and directories. [bsq2] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: dental implants Finland The canonical city query was run in the AI-visibility pass on 2026-09-07; the clinic does not appear in the returned result list, which is held by national chains, the university, wellbeing-county pages and directories. [bsq3] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: emergency dentist Finland The canonical city query was run in the AI-visibility pass on 2026-09-07; the clinic does not appear in the returned result list, which is held by national chains, the university, wellbeing-county pages and directories. [bsq4] | 0/1 |
| ? | Mentioned for: Finland dental clinic for expats The fifth canonical query was not run for this city in the AI-visibility pass: the pass ran it only for the first research city of each country (Helsinki for Finland). Left unset rather than guessed. | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Structured data on website The site emits schema.org JSON-LD, but only the generic WebPage / WebSite / BreadcrumbList graph a CMS plugin adds; there is no LocalBusiness, Dentist, MedicalBusiness or Organization entity describing the practice. Counted as a verified negative under the criterion's own wording ('LocalBusiness/Dentist markup or equivalent'). [s1] | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Google indexing quality The clinic's own domain holds the first two results for its own name and four of the first eight (front page, services, aesthetic dentistry, hygienist services); the rest are its own Facebook and Instagram and directories. [giq1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Dedicated service pages Beyond the four pages in the main navigation the clinic keeps per-service pages: the aesthetic-dentistry page was opened and read, and it links siblings for fillings and root canal treatment, prosthetics, stomatognathic physiology, hygienist services and radiography. [s5] | 1.5/1.5 |

|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Reputation check 2026-10-05 on the clinic's Google listing (5 reviews read): nothing settled; recurring complaints left unassessed. |
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-02 | Presence on review platforms checked on 2026-10-02: no profile on WhatClinic or Trustpilot; Dental Departures and Bookimed do not cover Finland. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints now unverified: 1–2★ ratings are 2 of 6 and the low reviews themselves were not read. |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: 4 doctor(s) previously no-match against the own-site roster confirmed by re-reading the clinic's staff/team page(s) (Jukka-Pekka Melkko; Riku Rissanen; Ville Vähäpassi; Juha Peltola); no data other than sources/license-passthrough changed. |
| 2026-09-08 | Checked by hand in a browser: the clinic’s Google Maps place page was opened in a real browser and read on both its Reviews and Overview tabs. Recorded from it: the rating re-verified against the star histogram, the review count, the histogram itself (2/1/0/0/3 = 6, weighted mean 2.833), review recency, the owner-reply state, the complaint reading and the manipulation reading from the six most-relevant reviews, the lead owner photograph and the full published opening week. Fields this pass did not measure are untouched. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection: clinic website read in full (front page, services, staff, contacts); Google Maps place record read live. Prices recorded as unpublished — the site carries no figures at all. The Google listing name 'Dentori Hammaslääkärikeskus' differs slightly from the clinic's own name and was not adopted. Review-side fields and both licence layers left unset with reasons and queued for a manual browser check. |
